The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

During the Shangyuan Festival, the city is full of lights, as bright as daytime, and the royal family members enjoy themselves with the people and go to Daxiangguo Temple to watch the lights.

Sitting in the shed, Zhao Yunchu couldn't help but look at Yunyan's back—he was thinking about the appointment with Yunyan's back today.

Yunyan was on duty there, and there was a shortage of manpower recently, so he had to share some of it.Fortunately, it was adjusted early, and when it was not too late, I handed over the shift, gave Zhao Yunchu a wink, and walked away.

Zhao Yunchu also stood up solemnly, "Aniang, I went down to look at the lights, I can't see clearly sitting here."

The concubine laughed and said, "Go ahead, you young people like to be lively."

Zhao Yundi then stood up, "Aniang, then I too..."

The princess immediately changed her expression, "Sit down!"

Zhao Yundi: "..."

How could the concubine feel at ease to let him leave, the official family was leaving the palace, and the guards and soldiers were all escorting them all the way, Zhou Huilin was not among them.

……

Zhao Yunchu has been in Daxiangguo Temple all year round, and he is very familiar with it. When he arrived at a remote courtyard, he saw Yun Yanhui standing at a corner. He walked forward lightly, and hugged Yun Yanhui, " Brother Yan!"

Zhao Yunchu was full of love and wanted to narrate, but was pushed away by Yun Yanhui's slap on the face.

Zhao Yunchu looked at it aggrievedly, only to see Yunyan's frightened expression on his face, suddenly he felt something was wrong, he lowered his head to look, but Yunyan turned back to the other side and stood side by side with three children, all of them looked up at this moment, staring at him with wide eyes. them.

Zhao Yunchu: "..."

Zhao Yunchu recognized two of them, Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Youwu, and another girl who was about the same age as Zhao Zongshi, whom he had never seen before.

He asked Yun Yan back in a low voice: "Why did they follow here? Where are the guards?"

Yun Yan was still in shock, looked to the side, "Stay outside..." With a bitter expression on his face, he told Zhao Yunchu that he was about to sneak out and meet Zhao Yunchu, but he was caught by Zhao Zongshi.

Zhao Zongshi took Zhao Youwu and another little girl, Cao Miaolian's niece Gao Taotao, the future Queen Yingzong, and he told Renzong that he wanted to play in the temple, so Renzong called a team of guards and told them to go.

Yun Yan felt that it was wrong to raise children like this!As an emperor, raising children requires a lot of battle. Even if there are many forbidden soldiers in the temple today, they can't be released casually!Bottom line, it's not right to interrupt someone's date!

Yun Yanhui was unhappy, and Zhao Yunchu was also unhappy, the two looked at each other, eyes full of resentment.

Zhao Zongshi pulled Yunyan back, "Yanfei, I'm hungry, take me to pull the radish and eat it."

"Why didn't you eat more cakes just now?" Yun Yanhui couldn't laugh or cry, "There are no radishes now...Your Highness, are you hungry?"

Zhao Youwu shook his head, "I'm not hungry."

Yun Yan looked back at Gao Taotao, Gao Taotao nodded consciously, "I'm a little hungry too..."

Yun Yan was speechless, "Let's... go to the kitchen first."

Yunyan took them back to the kitchen in the yard, and looked for it. The ingredients in it were all raw, but there were a bunch of chestnuts.

Anyway, I was entangled by the bear boy, so I just had a good time, so I took out the chestnuts and prepared to roast them. The cold weather is a good time to eat chestnuts.

Daxiangguo Temple has done a good job of greening. There are trees everywhere. The monks sweep piles of fallen leaves every day. Yunyan gathers a pile of dead branches and fallen leaves, lights them up, and then starts roasting chestnuts.

Where have these children played this game before? Seeing Yun Yanhui lighting a fire, they were all nervous and excited.

"Brother, what is this?" Zhao Youwu asked.

Yunyan replied: "...Your family has a big business, have you ever eaten chestnuts?"

Not only Zhao Youwu, Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao were also very confused, "Aren't chestnuts yellow?"

Yunyan understood that they had only seen peeled chestnuts, so she said: "This is a chestnut without the shell. When it grows on a tree, there is a layer of burrs on the outside. When you peel off the shell, it is the yellow chestnut flesh. "

Only then did Zhao Zongshi understand, and he couldn't help being a little ashamed, but he diverted his attention after a while.

"Will it set the house on fire?"

"How long should the chestnuts be roasted?"

"My mother said you can't keep playing with fire, you will wet the bed at night..."

The kid Zhao Zongshi couldn't sit still, Yunyan went back to pull the fire and chestnuts, he asked Zhao Yunchu, "Uncle, did you make an appointment with Yanfei to come here to play with the fire?"

Zhao Yunchu said unhappily: "We wanted to do something fun if you didn't come, but now we can't do it, so I'm very unhappy, Thirteen Lang, don't talk to me."

When Zhao Zongshi heard it, there was actually something more fun than roasting chestnuts in life, so he pulled Zhao Yunchu: "What is it, I want to play too!"

"You can't play," Zhao Yunchu picked up Zhao Zongshi, put him on the other side, and sat beside Yunyan, "Let's get rid of them later..."

"Heroes see the same thing," Yun Yan whispered back, "When the chestnuts are finished roasting and they are eating them, we will run..."

The tongue of fire licked the fruit, cracking its shell, and a faint fragrance permeated the air.

Yun Yan returned to put the chestnuts in a bowl, "It's still very hot, so I can't eat it yet."

Because the three children kept jumping up to look at the chestnuts in the bowl, Yun Yanhui had to raise his hand a little more. After a while, he tried to see that the temperature was okay before putting down the bowl.

Zhao Zongshi squeezed a chestnut, started from the crack, and peeled it open.The yellow chestnut meat was cooked through, even though it was roasted and the edges were a little burnt, Zhao Zongshi didn't care, he ate it in one bite, it was fragrant and powdery, with a bit of bitterness from the burnt part.

Although Zhao Youwu was curious, he didn't dare to do it first. He watched Zhao Zongshi eat one with wide eyes, and then laughed, "Thirteen Lang's mouth is black!"

The chestnuts were black, and naturally polluted Zhao Zongshi's hands and mouth.

Zhao Zongshi felt that he was very heroic, "If it's black, it's black!"

Zhao Youwu and Gao Taotao also stretched out their small hands and peeled the chestnuts by themselves. If they couldn't be peeled, they asked Zhao Zongshi to help.Facing his two younger sisters, Zhao Zongshi awakened his manliness in his small body, and he did his part to help.

Yun Yan originally wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but Zhao Youwu's dress fluttered and a hole was licked out by the flames.

Yun Yanhui extinguished the fire angrily, thinking that the chestnuts should have been extinguished when the chestnuts were roasted. Seeing the conspicuous hole in Zhao Youwu's skirt, she thought about it for a long time, and then took out the sewing kit from her arms... Fortunately, he didn't know how to convulse , brought this.

Another veil was requisitioned from Zhao Yunchu, and Yunyan went back to the scene to patch Zhao Youwu.

While eating chestnuts, Zhao Youwu stared blankly at Yunyan's boomerang thread, "What is this?"

As for the patch, she had never seen it before.In the palace, even the palace people don't have to wear clothes with patches, at least not on the coat, and she can't see how thrifty they are in private.

"I'll make it up for you...otherwise it would be bad if there is a leak." Yun Yan replied, "Remember to change your clothes when you go back." Fortunately, these days, nobles always bring at least one set of clothes for changing when they go out. So Yun Yanhui didn't think there was a big problem.

Zhao Youwu was quite happy, "Brother, you are amazing, this is really beautiful!"

Zhao Youwu also has a good impression of everything Yun Yanhui did, and feels that the patches he made have a special sense of design.

Zhao Zongshi also shouted: "Yan Fei, how can you embroider?"

Yunyan returned to the black thread, "This is not embroidery, it's just mending!"

Zhao Zongshi: "Then can you embroider?"

"No!" Yunyan denied it decisively, tied a knot in the thread, bit it off, and put away the sewing kit, "Well... let's go drink some water."

Yunyan took Zhao Yunchu back, pretended to go to the kitchen to drink water, but actually jumped out of the window and ran away, and greeted the guards outside the yard, saying that they had resigned, and told them to watch the three nobles and send them back later .

The guards went in without knowing it, and when Zhao Youwu asked them to ask for a senior brother, they found out that Yun Yan had come back to deceive people.

It was not too early at this time, the three of them ate chestnuts, walked around with the rest, and went back to meet their parents.

Renzong and Empress Cao were admiring the lantern affectionately, when they suddenly saw Chen Lin sneaking and leading Zhao Youwu and the other three walking aside, they called him to stop and asked them to come over.

Chen Lin saw the princess like this and wanted to take her to change clothes, but he was stopped by the officials, so he had no choice but to walk over.

It's okay to be a little farther away, but it's a little closer. After Renzong saw it clearly, he was stunned.

His daughters, nephews, and nieces carved in jade, all have black stains on their faces, many hands and bodies, and their hair is a little messy. All of these can be said to be that the children were unsteady and fell down. Category……

However, on his daughter's beautiful skirt, there was actually a huge patch!What the hell is going on? !

Cao Miaolian was also flustered in the wind, "It's just that I haven't seen her for a while, why are you following...with..."

Like the three little beggars?She was really embarrassed to say the latter words.

Zhao Zongshi was very loyal, and when he saw something was wrong, he didn't confess Yunyan, saying: "Officials, I took my sisters to roast chestnuts to play!"

Zhao Youwu also hugged her father's leg and said, "Daddy, the roasted chestnuts are delicious, and I brought them for you." She took out a dirty roasted chestnut from her arms and wanted to peel it for Renzong to eat.

Renzong was heartbroken and moved, and could not bear to blame, "Really? I have never eaten such delicious food... I must thank Xiaoba."

Renzong ate a mouthful of chestnuts, which turned out to be very fragrant.While eating, he thought, at first he thought they must go to find Yunyan to play with that guy, so he was quite relieved, but he didn't expect to go there by himself.

But it's not right... Although there is a patch on Xiaoba's body, it is not ugly. The stitches are so fine that you can't see it from a distance. It can be said that the skills are exquisite. The guards who follow them are all guards. How could there be such a thing? What about kung fu?

Renzong then asked again: "Young Wu, who made this patch?"

Zhao Youwu's eyes wandered, "I don't know..."

A moment ago, she didn't even know what a patch was, so she didn't know how to make it up for Renzong.

Renzong thought that what she said was that he didn't know who the patcher was, so he thought to himself, could it be a passing aunt?The craftsmanship is pretty good!

……

The multi-talented Yun Yanhui was having a tryst with Zhao Yunchu at this time, and the two of them were making love to each other in the woods.

A princess, a future emperor, and a future queen, after throwing them all away, Yunyan wondered if she was a little bit in love...

Zhao Yunchu hugged Yunyan back for a while, very excited, "Brother Yan, the officials said that I did a good job in Dali Temple, and they can transfer me to Kaifeng Mansion."

After Yun Yan heard back, she hugged Zhao Yunchu's face and rubbed it for a while, "Good job!"

Zhao Yunchu will definitely not stay in Kaifeng Mansion for a long time. Renzong said that he will be transferred to Kaifeng Mansion, not to mention helping him and Yunyan to "reunite", but to pave the way for him to be used in the future.

Zhao Yunchu lowered his head, buried his head in Yunyan's neck, and called out stickily: "Senior brother..."

Yun Yan felt numb when she returned.

It's been a long time since I heard this title. When they were young, they occasionally practiced together, and Zhao Yunchu called him Senior Brother.Hearing this title now is quite a bit of role-playing pleasure.

Yun Yan pulled Zhao Yunchu back up, turned around and pressed on the tree, touched his hand down, and kissed his mouth a few times, "Good brother, brother, I will take you to learn knowledge..."

……

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu walked out of the woods with serious expressions on their faces.

After returning, Renzong had already driven back to the palace.

Yunyan heard back from the Kaifeng official who accompanied her, saying that the princess didn't know where to play, and her clothes changed from new to old in an instant, and even the patches came out. The officials were not very happy.

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu looked at each other, feeling a drop of sweat dripping from the back of their head, "Hehehe... is that so..."
